NASCAR was a major feature of my upbringing, so I'm having an especially hard time processing this image that just showed up in my email.

Apparently Joey Logano will be driving this car tomorrow in the Drive4COPD 300. Remember when stock cars had Tide, or Lowe's, or, you know, STP on their hoods? DOES NOT COMPUTE.

Why not?  Gaming is an adult thing to do nowadays.

I don't follow Nascar at all, but haven't they done gaming cars before?

I have a hard time believing the NASCAR crowd overlaps with the Bioshock crowd. Not saying it can't happen, of course. Just saying we maybe, possibly, be misinterpreting the demographic.

It's weird to see games (not to mention game stores) being advertised on stock cars. I suppose it was inevitable, but it's still weird.

There's nothing I like better after seeing a stock car race than making moral choices regarding the future safety of mutant pre-pubescent girls in an underwater steampunk dystopia.

I think that the Gamestop car was a Batman:AA car for a bit too. It seems out of place, but this would be like Mass Effect commercials during football games, reaching a broader audience

I live where NASCAR is a plague upon mankind... the mountains of Western North Carolina.  NASCAR fans are abundant, and generally very stupid.

2K might as well just come up with their own beer if they're going after this demographic. Wait, that's a great idea!

I could see it for Modern Warfare, Gears of War, or Killzone, but not with a game like Bioshock. Not exactly the most broad-reaching title.

I find the fact that Nascar uses Toyota Camry's in races to be weirder.

If you think that is shocking, you haven't followed Nascar in a while.

  Unfortunately, this patch is causing errors in the Multiplayer portion of the race where holding down the brake pedal does not register in race.  We are already working on a fix to this problem and I will update you with more details as soon as I have them.

yeah, but I wouldn't want to drive a car that had 'Viagra' printed down the side. Although, I suppose they could say that they make viagra quick work HAHAHaa.. I know, I'm working on it..
 
I guess if I were paid as much as them, I'd drive it though.

What's so weird about it?  Games need to hit other revenue streams.  It's better than advertising on a gaming site.  If you go to gaming sites, and you don't know what Bioshock 2 is... you're probably not interested. 
  
This might get some eyes who are more on the casual side of gaming.

The #20 GameStop car had a lot of different video games on it last year in the Nationwide Series.  Here's a link to the different paint schemes it ran:  http://www.jayski.com/schemes/2009/nationwide/20nationwide.htm
 
In addition, the #1 car in Sprint Cup was sponsored by Activision, specifically Guitar Hero Smash Hits, Guitar Hero 5 and DJ Hero.

They have Ford Fusions as well.

 Number 9 "Kasey Kahne" is a Ford Fusion and 14 "Tony Stewart" is a Chevrolet Impala.

Yeh something along the lines of those titles would make a lot more sense in terms of having an impact on he kind of spectators one would expect to see at a NASCAR event.
